Hello Everyone
and welcome to another Millionaire Woman Show podcast. I'm super excited that
you've come here to join us and today we are talking about the power of words.
Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I wish I never said that?” Words carry
so much power. We've all been there in that place where we've, after we thought
about where we said, we thought, you know what, we could have said it so much
differently. I know for myself, there's many times that I wish I could take
things back. But you, once you put that decree out, you can't. But you can
shift your language, shift the way you're thinking to get where you want to be,
how you want to show up and really change moving forward because we can't
change what's behind us. So today, the power of words. I want to help you focus
in on the conversations that you have, the thoughts that you have in your head
so you can be empowered with the power of language.
So the power of
words. Joyce Meyer said, “Words are
containers of POWER. You can choose what kind of POWER they have.” So words
can be good used for good, and they can also be used for evil. So in the
context that I want to share with you today, the power of words, I want you to
start thinking about the words that you use. So one of the things is I want to
start with dawn. Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements. The first one is
about Being Impeccable with Your Word
and that's an agreement that you make with yourself and with others. But when I
first heard be impeccable with your word over the years, I always thought it
was about how we talk about others that we want to spread. Good gossip, not bad
gossip. We want to empower and lift people up. But it's easy to have that water
cooler conversation and get involved in another person's conversation.
Making
judgements and assumptions, conclusions about people that may or may be true.
So one of the things I encourage people to think about is this agreement, the
agreement about being impeccable with your word. It's not only speaking kindly
to others or about others. It also has to do with the six inches here, right
between our ears about what we're saying to ourselves as well. We need to be
impeccable with ourselves first and really capturing those words that we're
saying and changing them to positivity. And one of the examples would be, well,
I'll never achieve that. I'll, I won't do this. I'm not good at this. I'm not
good at this. And there's this phrase, the power of yet you may not be as good
as you're hoping to in this moment, but it doesn't mean that you don't have the
capacity or the capability to become the person you envision yourself to be.
That “Yet” three
letter word is so powerful in knowing that I may not be. If you catch yourself
saying, I may not be good put in that yet because there is room for growth,
there is room for improvement and it's not setting anything in stone. It means
I'm a work in progress, which we all are. So I want you to think about the
words you use and first of all, starting to be impeccable with your word, not
only to others or about others. That is also that you're going to be speaking
kindly of yourself, giving yourself some grace and also catching it and
